I haven't updated in awhile. I went back to work and it's been kicking my butt getting used to it. But I enjoy getting back to work... a little. ;o)
Juno is currently sitting on my shoulder chewing my shirt. She is a screamer when I am not around, which frustrates my husband to no end, especially if I have to work late. If she can't see me, she screams. So I will have to work on this, just not sure how since I don't know if it is a loniless issue, an abandonment issue, etc. She is fine during the day, most of the day. But in the evenings she seems to know things are going on out here and wants to be here as long as she is with me. She still barks and yells at Frank. She had to put up with my son Ryan on Thursday night because she wouldn't stop screaming and I was at work, plus Marly hurt her wing which I will go into in a bit. Juno has been getting better with her step up command, but only with me. When she is with me, no matter what I am doing, she is as quiet as can be. I've been taking her outside with me to play with the dogs and walk around the yard so she can get some sun. She has done very well. I have her wings aggressively clipped and don't take her out when its windy. She doesn't know how to take a bath so I have been working with her and trying to teach her that. We have made some progress, but still have a ways to go. I don't feel comfortable working on her training too many things because we are still working on the trust and I want her to be comfortable. So all we are working on right now is stepping up, and taking a bath. Oh and I mustn't forget that we are still working on changing her diet. Over all she is doing well and coming along a little quicker than I had anticipated.
On to Marly... That poor baby!!! She is doing well on her training. Frank is working on getting her used to a flight suit. We haven't managed to get it on her, but she is playing with it and putting her head into it. Now we will have to wait a while to work on it with her because she has hurt her wing pretty good. Frank was on his way out the back door and low and behold.. Ms. Stalker Bird had to be right behind him. Part of her wing caught the door. :o( I don't think she broke her wing, but she definately damaged some feathers. Her demeaner is good and she is eating and acting normal other than her flight. She cannot fly at all right now. Drops like a rock when she tries.
Well, I need to get the birdies to bed so I guess I will end this for now. Husband and I are going to the Bird Mart / Festival thingy in San Antonio tomorrow and then off to the Austin Parrot Society meeting on Sunday @ J&M Aviary in Austin.
Will try to update again soon.
